Couple of questions...
why is your address infinitely recursive? [can your address really be
composed of an address?{when does it end? - it doesn't - it addresses all
the way to the bottom} ;)]
In your XML, area and city are encoded as attributes... yet your DTD says
they are elements. I'll assume your XML is correct... but this is why they
don't display for you...
In which case you could try something like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body style="font-family:Arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt">
<h2>My Restaurants Guide</h2>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="restaurant">
<p>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="name">
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="address">
<br />
<xsl:value-of select="@str_name" />
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="@str_number" />
<xsl:text>, </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="@area" />
<xsl:text>, </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="@city" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="kitchen">
<br />
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="payment">
<br />
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Note that I modified your stylesheet to employed "push" processing rather
than "pull" processing .. which is tied less strongly to the detailed
structure of your document. I am utilizing rule-base design patterns ..
where the body of the template rule declares which nodes it is interested in
[address, kitchen, payment, etc.]...rather than the template rule for the
parent node defining in detail how its children should be processed. You
can read about rule based design patterns in detail in Michael Kay's XSLT
Programmers Reference text.
